ROSENBACH, A.S.W.

Editore: Dr. John Schmelon[?], Strathmere, N.J., 1955

Embossed copper bookmark. Approximately 2" x 5.5". Modest rubbing and wear, near fine, the last name of Dr. John Schmelon[?] is a little worn and hard to read. A cooper bookmark apparently created for Dr. John Schmelon[?], celebrating an historic house near Corson's Inlet, and which served as the Summer vacation house of the legendary rare bookseller A. S. W. Rosenbach. A number of pictures of the house and property appear in the epic biography of Rosenbach by Fleming and Wolf. Rosenbach, who died childless in 1952 and left the bulk of his estate to The Philip H. and A. S. W. Rosenbach Foundation. However, anecdotally we have heard that he either left or sold his vacation house to his doctor (in some versions, to his psychiatrist). Whether that would be Dr. John Schmelon[?] is for others to determine. Codice articolo 586633
